NC-v4 SSc6:Light pollution reduction

Uplight

We have fixtures that are located in a covered area (under a plaza) which exceed the allowable uplight rating. It seems reasonable to exclude these fixtures from the uplight requirements since they are covered, but there isn’t any clear guidance on this issue. Any feedback would be most helpful.

A lot of the responses didn't transfer over yet with the new website. Any solid structure that blocks uplight can be considered as a shield. Draw a section of this area showing what percentage of the uplight is blocked. Vegetation doesn't count as a shield.
